Newbie - Optimizing NFS writes

Hi
I'm writing an NFS client - a large number of files are periodically
written to directory on the
client end , then transported over nfs to a remote server and then
deleted at the client's end.

I'm sure it's not as simple as a remote mount, fopen() and then write
to the remote FileSystem


I'd appreciate if someone could point out various issues/optimizations
which I need to take care of.


thanks!

No. It's simpler. Mount the remote filesystem then use cp to copy the files.

Even simpler, use "mv".
